How to fix Error 107 - ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR
Today I was not able to log on to Facebook from my office PC. I just wondered because our system administrators haven't banned any web site for us. So I just check deeply and finally got the "Error 107 - ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR" code.
Mainly this error because the host file in your PC been effected by a virus or a malware. I was able to fix it and would like to share it with you.
No need any deep briefing. Here is the solution.
To check if this is the case for you, click the start button, then Run. At the run dialog, type "%windir%\system32\drivers\etc" (without the quotes) and then Enter to get to the directory where the "hosts" file resides (Alternatively you can navigate to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc). Backup this file somewhere first just in case your modification causes issues. Then, once you've backed it up, open it (in Notepad or something similar); you should only usually see "127.0.0.1 localhost" as the final entry; if there are more entries after this one, delete them (but keeping the 127.0.0.1 localhost entry as the only one), save and close out of the modified file, then reboot. You might find your SSL problem is cured. A malware scan with something like Malewarebytes or Spybot would probably be in order, as well.
Please leave a feedback if this post help you or your are having any other issue.
